My wife's computer (G4 iBook, 10.3, AT&T email provider) recently refuses to get or send email (spontaneously it would appear - no installs or updates made). The error that keeps coming up is that it is "Unable to verify SSL server xxx".
I have checked and rechecked the settings at least 10 times.
I tried deleting then reloading the server certificate (in just about every keychain possible user, anchors, cert) and then copied it from my computer that works (same server) and then reloaded the one AT&T provides all with no success.
I tried deleting and rebuilding com.apple.mail.plist
I have searched virtually every site and while there are some with similar problems, their fixes don't work for me.
Finally I downloaded Thunderbird and used the same settings and it works flawlessly the first time.
My computer (MacBook, 10.4) and an iPod touch can both download email without issue and have seen no difference during this same timeframe.
My wife is fine with Thunderbird but I'm not quite satisfied just bypassing the problem. Anyone who could help me fix it I would be much indebted to.
Thanks,
Jeff
